I always like seeing them overheating in traffic on highway 17 between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz, because they can’t keep them going fast enough to cool the engine.

We could get these same economic “benefits” by paying half those people to dig a big hole in the ground and the other half to fill it in again.

Or a Prius.
Parents have a red Владимирец T-25A tractor. With two cylinder 2077ccm engine it’s surprisingly fun to drive:
It also has a separate forward-reverse lever so it can be driven on nearly every gear in reverse.

“Privilege Series 5”.
As well as the giant luxury cabins for the owner, it also has a tiny, segregated berth for the employee sailors.
Makes you wanna cheer for the pirates.

He would wreck it the same even if the tires were warm and he didn’t over-correct. That car has all the weight in the back, rear wheels are driven and when you floor it, they will almost instantly lose traction because that huge engine has so much torque -> instant spin. Look at the video I have posted - and that was a driver who certainly didn’t over correct and knew exactly what they were doing in that Gallardo.
That’s why if you want to buy and drive one of these, you have to go through a training course at the manufacturer before they hand you the keys to your shiny new wheels. Nobody wants their customer to smash their brand new car on the first corner.
And turning off things like traction control is only for fools - even factory drivers rarely dare to do that and when they do, it is on track or an airport runway only, never in a city.
Yup. I know I think I’m a good driver, and simultaneously that I’m not. My car ‘only’ has 150hp and rwd. I NEVER turn the damn traction control off.
It had a tendency to do that to the driver idling at traffic lights too.

As I have already commented, Emilia-Romagna tends to vote left to far-left in elections. I would not be surprised to find that a majority of the Lamborghini and Ferrari workforce has voted for the Communist party at some point.

But… But… That would be Socialism!!!
The problem is getting people to pay for the hole to be dug and filled. Although, judging from the construction projects along the road that I see, yeah, that happens too. 
This way someone is happy to pay the money for the vehicle, someone is happy to make the vehicle, everyone is happy.
Edit below this point to discuss the broken glass theories:
There are actually two broken glass theories; the economic theory and the law enforcement theory.
The economic theory is that someone breaking a window is good for the economy because it forces more capital spending to restore the status quo. Like many economists, I conceded that the concept has some merit but feel that it draws incorrect assumptions because the person who breaks the window is rarely the person who pays for it. I do not believe in the deepest economic pockets theory of justice, I believe in the responsibility for your actions theory of justice.
The law enforcement broken window theory is that in poorer neighborhoods it is important to cite every small crime as heavily as possible, ending up voting both the kid who threw the ball that broke the window and the property owner who didn’t fix the window instantly. This is racist carp and results in a permanent underclass of criminals who never meant to do wrong but who 's lives were destroyed over nothing. But it’s really good at keeping poor and minority people down so it was a dominant legal theory for a long time.
What, you think Communists don’t need to eat too?
I guess if you can’t eat the rich then getting money from them for overpriced luxury cars is an alternative.

I’m thinking if he’d gone any faster, he would’ve ended up with some kind of Brundle-Fly hybrid.
A Lambor-TREE-ni.
